HP PageWide Pro 2x500-sheet Paper Tray and Stand

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, for £612.98 ex‑VAT this HP PageWide Pro 2x500‑sheet Paper Tray and Stand is only really “worth it” if you’re actively fighting paper‑out downtime. If your team runs decent volumes (reports, invoices, managed print workloads) and you don’t want to babysit trays, doubling capacity can genuinely smooth out day-to-day printing and reduce interruptions. It also fits that kind of “set it and forget it” workflow—especially if you print from multiple media sizes often.

But if your usage is lighter, or you’re mostly printing on one standard paper type, it’s hard to justify the spend. For that money, you could often re-think the workflow (bigger roll-up supply arrangements, better scheduling, or just a simpler third-party tray solution where compatible) and not lock yourself into a specific OEM accessory. In short: buy it if you’re a high-volume HP PageWide Pro shop that values uptime; skip it if you’re using the printer intermittently or rarely need extra feed capacity.
